American Entertainment 1982

Los Angeles, El Monte.

Tommy Hawke arrived accompanied by Lotte Page. When he saw Dennis, the guy was sitting on a bench in the community square with a smile as bright as the sun, surrounded by a group of children, and Dennis from He grabbed handfuls of candies from the plastic bag beside him and distributed them to the children. It was like a sunny young man who came to a strange area and met a group of lovely children, and thoughtfully gave them greeting gifts.

The beautiful picture is like a realistic oil painting full of humanistic care.

There is no picture in Tommy's imagination: in a dark and cramped room, Dennis's limbs are fixed on the iron bed, and then two tall black women stand guard at the door, selling tickets to the ugly women who lined up outside the door , all kinds of ugly girls handed over the banknotes one by one, then walked into the room with a grinning grin, and greeted Dennis, whose mouth was sealed with tape and whose eyes were desperate:

"Honey, Mommy's playing a game with you called Donkey Punch..."

Tommy motioned Mr. Page to wait not far away, and he walked over to sit in the empty seat next to Dennis, turned his face to look at Dennis who was kissing the forehead of every child who came to receive candy: "This is the same as the picture I imagined. completely different."

"I know." Dennis didn't signal these little guys to run away until all the children got the candy, and then looked at Tommy: "I fell in love with this place suddenly, Tommy, I've been here for two days, I found the meaning of life, and I love everyone here."

"Everyone or all women, those two words have completely different meanings," Tommy said with a laugh.

Dennis smiled and scolded F*ck, and then said: "Look here, there are more than a hundred families, the children can't see their fathers all the year round, and the wives can't see their husbands all the year round... I want to stay here, they Need a man, need a strong guardian, that's why I'm here, God led me here, hope I can change the bad environment here."

"Do you want to hear my analysis of what you said? You are just out of vanity, wanting to be worshiped by a group of poor people to get cheap spiritual satisfaction, because you can't get this kind of satisfaction in other places, but here They are all weak women, and you can reap their desire and dependence on you." Tommy took out a cigarette, lit two of them in his mouth, then gave one to Dennis, and said.

Dennis took a sip of the cigarette: "After those women knew about my plan, they worshiped me like a god. There's nothing wrong with that. I won't have the same sense of accomplishment as I do now when I become a garbage dump manager."

"Their admiration for you will only last until the moment they figure out that you are just a drug dealer who makes a difference. At that time, you will be the first to be kicked out, and those tough mothers will buy and sell by themselves. Don't think that poor people are just idiots who don't know how to think, once interests are involved and your role doesn't mean much to them, you will definitely be killed by borrowing a knife." Tommy leaned forward with his arms resting on his thighs on, said with a smile:

"For example, there is a beautiful mother who is your deputy. She listens to you in everything. If you want to sleep with her, she will undress immediately. If you ask her to pick up the goods, she will drive out immediately. But when she finds out about you What will she do when she has only such a little ability and can't learn anything else? It's very simple, call the husband of her best friend and tell him that his wife was taken by you, and he came back with a gun and died Without you, she will become the new boss of this community."

"How is it possible?" Dennis was shattered by Tommy's words that the other party shot him with a gun, but he still refused to accept the reality stubbornly.

Tommy shrugged and looked at the children running around playing in the distance: "Why is it impossible? If I were that woman, I would kill you so easily. Anyway, you have nothing to absorb. Why? If you want to keep you, how about giving you more money?"

Dennis opened his mouth, wanted to say something but didn't know how to say it, finally lowered his head and remained silent for a moment, then said softly: "Brother, you really know how to shatter a friend's illusions, yes, a garbage station manager, for this How can the community help? The methods of the drug dealers can only be learned by following me a few times, and by then, I will be useless."

Dennis really felt that at a certain moment, it would be good for him to stay in this small daughter country and be a king. He imagined that he would rely on being a drug dealer to make money, helping women bring benefits, and children They all like themselves, and they can also like the wives of those soldiers.

Until Tommy, the bastard, popped his dream bubble with a calm tone.

"Remember when I asked you to do me a favor? If you really like this place and really want to help these women and these children, I think you will consider helping me." Tommy said to Dennis.

Dennis curled his lips and looked at Tommy: "Jason said that most of the help you can do is to make a small movie, so you mean I will make a small movie, and then distribute the video tape to every woman in this community, so that they need comfort late at night Relax with a videotape of me starring?"

"West Point, U.S. Naval Academy, which one do you like? I'll send you to college." Tommy flicked his cigarette and looked at Dennis.

Dennis froze for a moment, and then touched Tommy's forehead with his hand: "The sunshine in California must have radiation, Tommy, you'd better go to a fucking brain doctor to check your brain, you don't have a fever, but the trouble is more serious." Large, because it is likely to be a disease that requires surgery to find out the cause."

Tommy ignored the guy's teasing, and just told Dennis what he said to his brother.

"You mean, you're going to give me a sum of money so that I can spend time with those SSD people in New York?" Dennis said to Tommy after listening, "I can also send you the bill for whoring, and you will give me the money." I will reimburse you in full, the cost of my drug use with them, the cost of having a girlfriend..."

"Yes, as long as it's not too much, it's fine, so you agree?" Tommy nodded seriously to Dennis and asked.

"The most important question, Tommy." Dennis also straightened his face, making himself look at Tommy very seriously: "There is only one last question left, if the girlfriend is pregnant, can the abortion fee be reimbursed? Or child support, You know, I don't like using Trojan..."

Tommy sighed: "Dennis, I'm asking you to go to college to be a trainee officer, not to increase the birth rate in New York State. According to your seeding method, the annual gross national product of the United States can't bear your burden." Child support, so don't expect me to raise your kids for you."

"I've decided to go, I'm going to be an officer guarding America, you know what, I've got a great idea, I'm going to wear an officer's uniform, come back here one day, and comfort the women here, maybe during comfort in bed, The husband of the other party came back suddenly, I really look forward to that scene, imagine, imagine, Tommy, do you think that woman's husband will salute me when he sees me, and say hello, sir?" Dennis suddenly thought He asked a question that excited him, and said to Tommy excitedly:

"Soldiers are performing missions overseas. As an officer, I must take care of their housework and let them focus on fighting. This is my bounden duty."

Tommy nodded painfully: "Love soldiers like sons, Dennis, American soldiers need a warm-hearted officer like you."

"Will Pam go to West Point Military Academy with me?" Dennis finished fantasizing about himself, and then thought of his best friend Pam: "If he goes too, he can let me vent outside the door while I am comforting the families of my subordinates, and make sure we He will not be shot and killed by his subordinates."

"No, I only got two fucking letters of recommendation, one from you, one from Tony, and Pam can't pass the physical exam, and he's blind when he takes off his glasses." Tommy threw away the cigarette butt and picked it up. A toffee, peel off the package and put it in your mouth, feeling the pleasure of sweetness filling your mouth:

"If he goes to West Point to study, there is a chance of triggering World War III."

"I didn't expect you to have such a high opinion of Pam. You mean that if Pam becomes a soldier, there is a chance of triggering World War III?" Dennis asked in surprise when he heard Tommy's words.

Tommy nodded: "Yes, think about it. During the graduation practice, Pam's glasses fell and broke due to the shock, so he could only operate the artillery for a blind shot, and then successfully used a shell to accurately hit the ceremony. Then the president announced to all the citizens on the TV with a solemn expression the next day that the bombing of the West Point Military Academy was planned by the Soviet Union, and Pam Marvell was the Soviet Union. Carefully cultivated and infiltrated into the United States' top agents, in view of the Soviet Union's heinous terrorist assassination against the United States, he decided to declare war on the Soviet Union, and the Third World War officially broke out."

"So, Pam, I can only be an air-conditioning repairman. It's a pity. I thought he... could be my adjutant." Dennis said regretfully after hearing Tommy's words.

Tommy said: "The United States Naval Preparatory Academy is located in Newport, Rhode Island. He needs to complete a one-year preparatory course there and get a letter of recommendation from the dean of the preparatory academy before he can go to the Naval Academy. Those non-military majors such as logistics supply, engineering, or ship repair can only rely on himself, I am not God, and sending you and Tony to the military academy is already the limit of what I can do now."

"Very well, I knew I couldn't be a mediocre garbage dump keeper. I always believed I was a genius. Just wait and see, Tommy. Dennis Herbs will lead the army into Berlin one day and put the The Star-Spangled Banner is planted on the dome of the Kremlin, let Stalin hand over the letter of surrender to me." Dennis stood up, moved his body, and said excitedly.

The corner of Tommy's mouth twitched a few times: "But Stalin died long before you were born, and the Kremlin is in fucking Moscow, not East Berlin..."

"Really? It doesn't matter. It's the same for Stalin's children writing surrender letters." Dennis looked at Tommy and realized that the other party was not joking, so he changed his words.

Tommy also stood up: "Stalin's daughter defected and came to the United States. Now she is an American. Are you sure you want to bring her back to Moscow and let her sign the surrender on behalf of the Soviet Union?"

"It sounds like the relationship between the Soviet Union and the United States is more complicated than the relationship between me and 120 nightclub girls." After listening to Dennis, he patted Tommy on the shoulder: "You go first, I will return to Stanford in two days to find you. "

"Aren't you going to go with me?" Tommy froze for a moment.

Dennis walked towards the community: "Of course not, I want to hurry up to satisfy my vanity, and as a future officer, I will comfort my future subordinates for their empty wives, Tommy, you know you are not as good as me What is the reason? Kindness, you have to remember, kindness, you have to be kind, and don’t be stingy with your kindness and passion.”

...

"Dick Cheney, member of the House of Representatives, White House Chief of Staff under President Ford, stepped down with Ford's defeat in less than a year."

"Donald Rumsfeld, White House Chief of Staff and Secretary of Defense during President Ford's time, was also Dick Cheney's guide. After Ford lost the election, he went to Purcell Pharmaceuticals as CEO. The impression of the former Secretary of Defense was very good."

"Thomas Hayward, the former U.S. Chief of Naval Operations, retired in 1981, and is now going around helping the foundation he founded, trying to make domestic famous universities provide more educational opportunities for ordinary soldiers."

Jim Manzi's efficiency was astonishing. Within a week, this guy put three carefully selected names and information in front of Tommy, and told Tommy that all three of them were willing to speak at the charity dinner.

Tommy has some impressions of the first two names. One is known as the most powerful vice president in the history of the United States, and the other is the US Secretary of Defense who successfully turned his death into fun.

However, in his impression, Rumsfeld seemed to be Bush Jr.'s secretary of defense, but now Jim told him that Rumsfeld had served as the secretary of defense as early as 1975 when Ford succeeded Nixon?

"Secretary of Defense under President Ford? How old was he at that time?" Tommy asked Jim in surprise as he flipped through Rumsfeld's files.

Jim put his feet on the table and shook his legs lazily: "Forty-three years old, the youngest secretary of defense in American history, the sharpest dagger of President Ford, personally helped Ford plan the Halloween massacre, and completely completed the cabinet. Purge, clear out the hands left behind by Nixon."

Tommy heard Jim's evaluation of the other party, and said curiously: "You seem to appreciate him very much."

"Of course, a person can sit in the House of Representatives as a member at the age of thirty, enter the White House at the age of thirty-six, serve as the assistant to President Nixon and the director of the White House Economic Office, and become the White House chief of staff to President Ford at the age of forty. A man who became the Secretary of Defense at the age of three, became the CEO of the private company Purcell Pharmaceuticals at the age of forty-five, and made the company go from the top 500 companies in the United States to the top 100 companies in the United States at the age of 47, isn't it worthy of admiration and admiration?" Jim looked at Tommy:

"But it's just admiration. That guy's era is over. Look at the information. I have prepared it in detail."

Tommy looked at the information in his hand, and Jim really listed the reasons why Rumsfeld was chosen.

First of all, as the CEO of a pharmaceutical company, he is now interested in the military prescription drug assistance plan thrown out by Jim. If someone is willing to promote it, Purcell Pharmaceuticals is willing to cooperate.

Secondly, he is a German-American who was born in the U.S. Navy. After graduating from Princeton University, he served in the Navy for four years.

The third point is that during his tenure as Minister of Defense, he gained friendship from the military.

Ford originally wanted to sacrifice Rumsfeld, because Ford hoped to thoroughly investigate the US military's false accounts, corruption and other issues. Once this work is investigated and the progress is announced, Rumsfeld must be shot in the back by a machine gun. Then the police gave the investigation results, and died by suicide.

After all, corruption in the military is extremely serious, and there are layers of interaction. Even the president does not know which issue will completely detonate the explosive point. He dare not take the risk, but he needs political achievements and means to show the public that he can replace Nixon. It is not because of good luck. , but because of stronger ability and determination.

Ultimately, he left it to Rumsfeld to settle the matter.

But Rumsfeld, the Secretary of Defense, did not die by suicide. After his investigation, he chose a low-key and gentle policy. All the military officials of the Ministry of National Defense were arranged by him to add assistants, and then he arranged various schedules for the military officials. , go abroad for exchanges or go to various bases for research, in short, let those people have a fulfilling life every day, so that many internal tasks of the Ministry of National Defense can only be handled by the assistants equipped.

In the eyes of military officials, assistants are untrustworthy outsiders. Corruption behaviors cannot be understood by assistants, so Rumsfeld first used this method to force military officials to stop for a while to avoid continued corruption. In this sense, officers and officials are emptied.

Those embezzlers believed that as long as they were vigilant against these assistants, they would not be able to get any insider information about the previous corruption, but Rumsfeld did not think about going over the old accounts before, but instead used these assistants to take over the accounts after they were taken over. Compared with the accounts submitted by the party, it can be inferred which links are seriously corrupted and which accounts have fake accounts, so as to make the investigation direction clearer.

After discovering the specific problem, they did not launch an attack immediately. Instead, they introduced a computer network to the Ministry of National Defense, announcing that all financial work and internal affairs of the Ministry of National Defense need to be handled by computers, which again increases the difficulty of the military's fraudulent activities, and because computer accounts and paper The quality account books exist at the same time, and the other party needs to operate twice to make a fake. In this way, in less than a year, he found out the silverfish network of the Ministry of Defense, and did not take the credit for himself, but quietly sorted out all the lists and The evidence was handed over to President Ford for the President to decide how to deal with it.

President Ford's face was very bright when he got the evidence. He really wanted to use Rumsfeld's method to investigate the Department of Defense, but he didn't intend to be as crazy as Kennedy. In his opinion, Rumsfeld should die The Secretary of Defense, not the President himself, would probably be lying in a hospital mortuary tomorrow if he declared responsibility for this investigation.

Therefore, he can only delegate power once again, saying that he will give Rumsfeld full power to deal with it, and Rumsfeld seems to have guessed that the president will kick the ball back to himself. He just needs the president to give him full power to deal with it. After gaining the power he wanted, he revealed the list in his hand to those military bosses who had no idea that he had been caught.

After getting the list, some military minions involved in corruption immediately died of various strange suicides, and after those people died, Rumsfeld then applied to the president for an amnesty, pardoning all those who seemed to be involved in crimes. Shen Shen, who was mainly a military boss who was deceived by his subordinates, announced the end of the investigation and won the favor of the military.

So in the end, the Ministry of National Defense was cleaned up, and he who should have died of suicide not only did not die, but instead gained the friendship of the military.

"The method of cleaning the Ministry of Defense is very good." After watching it, Tommy said to Jim: "It's only a wrong step. Maybe this step is the reason why he was not used by Reagan, that is, he should let the president gain the friendship of the military. , instead of himself, a little too impatient, and thus exposed his ambition, otherwise Ford would not let him sink in the business world for so long."

Jim nodded: "That's right, "National Review" also thinks so. In the future, it may be difficult for him to be nominated for the presidential nomination in the Republican Party. When he gained power, he cleaned up several Republican opponents who were qualified to compete with him Unfortunately, Kissinger, George Bush, etc. George Bush is now Reagan’s vice president, and Kissinger is now the chief of staff of David Rockefeller, the largest funder of the Republican Party. You think Rumsfeld almost killed them Will they give him a chance now? So I say his political life is over. Of course, the record of being the youngest Secretary of Defense in the history of the United States is already dazzling enough. I think it is enough to attract those students. See for yourself the holder of this record."

"Counting Pete Wilson, we have four powerful people, of which Rumsfeld and Mr. Hayward are very attractive to cadets, but they are ex-partners, so they are not attractive to guests, and people buy a thousand dollars. Tickets, I don’t want to have a photo chat with the former Minister of Defense, but also find a reason to trick them into paying obediently.” Tommy said to Jim after reading the information of several people.

Jim didn't bother to look at Tommy, and turned his head away: "You only asked me to help you find a few powerful people to attract those military students, you didn't say that you asked me to help you sell tickets to rich and rich men."

"I didn't ask you, I thought about it, fooling those nerds in Silicon Valley, the Veterans Association and SSD need technology products, and only those technology companies that are enthusiastic about charity can get orders." Tommy said.

Jim turned to look at Tommy and asked curiously, "So, what order?"

Tommy spread his hands at him: "I don't know what the hell is the order, I just make up a reason and let it out, so that they think they have a chance to get the order and come to buy tickets, not to mention that even if I really think of some order, They will only tell Jason or Holly how they can make money from the Veterans Association and SSD by themselves, how can they be cheaper to others."

The second update, 6,000 words~~The goal of 4,000 words has been achieved, get off to sleep, good night everyone.
